Research shows that women leaders are more supportive of skills development – in themselves and also in others.
I wonder how much of this result is due to the prevalence of women in HR?
If it is, then we might assume that it could be the passion for skills/professional/personal development that can lead women into functions like HR.
I love the following quote supposedly from a discussion on training between a CFO and a CEO (though possibly apocryphal):
CFO: What if we train them and they leave?
CEO: What if we don’t and they stay?
A solid training plan and path to leadership is essential to minimise churn. And our clients want to deal with a company that’s offering the best from latest thinking.
You wouldn’t want to be treated by a GP who hadn’t updated their knowledge since 1990 would you?
